I Believe that the main issue could raise that a customer starts evaluating hes Investments. I would estimate that a Passionate Poser user would spend over 10'000 $ for models and extentions for just Poser ( And that might just be the minimum over time ) but now you are just placing the fear into there back-head ...." What happens it it shuts down " well it is clear ----> you cant use Poser any longer you can as well format your Runtime library to gain new space on your drive ! woow you then just trashed over 10'000 $ .

Morally it is unacceptable that one could loose all hes Investments in such a case. " Only the thought is a disaster " Daz users do not have to worry about such a scenario ! A Poser customer is in most cases a Passionate collector of 3D for He's dreams sometimes they do not even use or open what they have bought " Driven by a Dream of good Promo Images " It is that they just also whant to be able to make that Render one day , it is sort of like a collector of Paintings.

But you Bondware are just about to destroy this dream as the Collector fears the Fire that could burn down the whole collection , just with a little code and with the words " If you do not come to us you would lose everything " That reminds me of the Political situation the have in Turkey with Erdogan "

You Bondware are most-probably just generating new Pirates as your act could be considered to steal customers money and these customers would do anything to protect there little 3D treasures they bought throughout the years.

What is the biggest fear of a Poser Collector ? It is a Hd Crash . so what will he do ? He buys a 400$ worth hd to back it up. so what will you think he does to protect it against a Kill switch ??

I think there are allot of Points you have not considered when you started to make that unwritten licence more strict as you do not even make the Customer aware of the consequences.
